Abstract: A carriage motor which is a heat generating device is arranged next to a CIS in a scanner unit. The carriage motor drives respective transport rollers of an ADF unit via a gear system as well. The scanner unit makes a white reference board be read so as to obtain white reference data, and obtains black reference data more frequently than the white reference data, e.g., in a continuous process for reading a document. As a CIS module continues a reading process, the black reference data changes as being affected by a change in temperature in the CIS module, etc. The scanner unit deals with such a change in the black reference data by obtaining the black reference data more frequently.

Abstract: An image reading apparatus corrects a deviation of a reading position of a document to accurately correct a luminance intensity distribution variation. Light is radiated to a shading plate (102) provided at a portion different from a reading position (luminance-intensity-distribution-variation correction reading line 103b) for a document (P) while displacing an illumination unit (101), and shading correction is carried out based on a luminance value of reflection of the light. Light is radiated to the reading position before the document (P) is transported thereto while displacing the illumination unit (101) in the same direction as a displacement direction of the illumination unit (101) at a time of performing shading correction. The luminance value of the reflected light at this time is compared with the luminance value after the shading correction to generate luminance-value reference data before the reading of the document.

Abstract: This invention provides a technique of preventing a collision between an original document and a printing material on a conveyance path when an image forming apparatus executes both additional printing on the original document and printing on the printing material. In a case where both additional printing on an original document and printing on a printing material are executed, the image forming apparatus according to one aspect of the invention conveys a read original document to a transfer unit through a conveyance path commonly used for an original document and sheet, and prints an image to be added on the original document. After the original document is conveyed to the transfer unit through the conveyance path, the image forming apparatus feeds a sheet from a sheet feeding unit to the conveyance path, and performs copying on the sheet in the transfer unit.
